Materials of the lesson "Christmas" Enclosure 3
TEXT
Christmas
Christmas can mean different things to different people. For many people it means eating a lot and
spending time with family and visiting relatives and friends. For children it often means presents,
presents and more presents!
The origins of Christmas
In ancient times people had mid-winter festivals when the days were short and the nights were very
long. They believed that their ceremonies would help the sun's power return. The Romans
decorated their homes with green plants in December to remind Saturn, their harvest god, to return
the following spring. In CE440 the Christian church decided that the birth of Christ should be
celebrated every year on December 25th. Some of these ancient customs were adopted by early
Christians as part of their celebrations of the birthday of Jesus Christ. Green plants are still used to
decorate many British homes in December. At Christmas we cover trees (real ones or reusable
synthetic trees) in with shiny balls and flashing lights!
Cards and presents
It's very common to send Christmas cards to friends, family, colleagues, classmates and
neighbours in the weeks leading up to December 25th. Christmas is traditionally a time for helping
other people and giving money to charities. Many people send charity cards; where a percentage of
the cost of each card goes to charity. People send fewer cards than in the past as they now send
Christmas greetings by email or via Facebook. Christmas presents are reserved for close friends
and family. Traditionally the giving of a gift is symbolic of the three wise men giving their gifts of
gold, frankincense and myrrh to the baby Jesus. Popular presents for young people in the UK in
recent years include a Smart phone, a Playstation Move and 80's retro fashion.
Father Christmas (or Santa Claus)
Every year small children tell Father Christmas (also known as Santa Claus) exactly what presents
they would like to receive. They can write him letter with a list of requests or they can visit him
personally in one of the large department stores across Britain in the weeks before Christmas. On
the night of December 24th Father Christmas travels through the sky on a sleigh pulled by magic
reindeers and delivers presents to children across Britain. How does he enter the children's
houses? Via the chimney of course!
The Christmas number one
Every year, for a few weeks around Christmas time, the UK music charts go mad. Groups and singers
who normally make cool music create a song that they hope will be number one on Christmas Day.
The Christmas number one single is written about in newspapers, talked about on the radio and
people can even bet money in betting shops to see which song will win the race. In the last ten years,
the Christmas number one has been dominated by singers who have won reality television
competitions. One year 'Rage Against the Machine' started a Facebook campaign to be the first group
with a Christmas number 1 with a download only song. They won their anti- corporate campaign with
the song 'Killing in the name'.
Snow
Snow at Christmas is part of British culture. You often see it on Christmas cards, you can buy fake
snow to decorate your house and there are even songs about snow at Christmas. There was lots of
snow last winter in the UK so man y people enjoyed a white Christmas. People can bet on whether it
will snow or not on December 25th at betting shops around the country.
Turkey and crackers
Christmas dinner is usually eaten at midday or early afternoon. It traditionally includes roast turkey,
vegetables and potatoes. There are also lots of alternatives to the turkey dinner for vegetarians who
prefer a meat-free Christmas. Dessert is a rich, fruity cake called Christmas pudding. Traditionally a
Christmas cracker is placed next to each person. When you pull the cracker with the person next to
you, you hear a loud 'bang!' and a paper hat, a joke and a s mall gift fall from the cracker. You have to
wear the hat, tell the joke to the other people at the table and keep the gift.
Christmas means…..
Does everyone like Christmas? These comments from young Brits reflect some of the wide range of
opinions about Christmas in the UK:
Yasmeen, 20, Liverpool: Christmas to me means catching up with your family and having a laugh.
Last of all opening your presents.
Ruby, 15, London: It's too commercial. There are too many adverts trying to get everyone to spend
their money.
James, 13, Crediton: Bringing all your family together, having a laugh, giving presents and eating
loads of delicious foods. YUM! YUM!
Tony, 18, Bakewell: The shops start selling Christmas cards in September! That's 3 months before
Christmas. Ridiculous!
Claire, 22, Derby: I work for a charity that gives food to homeless people every Christmas. These
people have no home or family so we try to make December 25th a happy day for them.
Charlie, 15, Canterbury: I think Xmas is as much about giving as it is getting. I also think it's a time for
the whole family to get together and enjoy being with each other.
Alisha, 16, Manchester: I think that Christmas is a religious time, not just for Christians but for Jews
and Muslims too. I celebrate the season the Christian way.
